As Isaac says, they probably can can, but there are caveats. AFAIK, OWC
only sell OE stuff.

I tried a couple of flashed cards myself (mainly because I needed DVI
and VGA ****ts), but they weren't that successful - they run OK, but they
can show their weaknesses when pu****ng them hard, and they can sometimes
have problem with the System too - one I got wouldn't wake up after
sleeping.
